Tips

1 - If you have formatted your card, there is unfortunately a risk that all data is gone forever. Here is a small trick to test the presence of meaningful data on your card. Create a backup of your media with the Image the Input option. You now have a file that has your card's size ( 4 MB, 64 MB, etc... ). Compress it with an archiver such as Winzip or Stuffit. If the data compresses extremely well, it means the card was formatted clean. Your data is gone. Sorry. Nikon and Canon digital cameras usually do not erase cards fully. Olympus and Fuji digital and some Early Sony cameras may or may not erase cards fully during a format, but Sony seems now to have moved away from total erasure.

2 - If you want to try chkdsk - it may work - take a backup of your card with the Image the Input option. If chkdsk fails, PhotoRescue will be able to work with directly on the backup file. Photorescue is now also able to recover from a failed chkdsk without a backup file, but results might be slightly worse.
